Glory to You, God. Glory to You, God. Glory to You, God.
Thanksgiving Prayer, 1st
I thank You, Lord, my God, for You did not reject me as a sinner, but You made Me a fellow-companion to be Your holy things. I thank You, for You have vouchsafed me, unworthy, to partake of Your Most Pure and Heavenly Gifts.
But the Lord, the Lover of Mankind, for our sake died and rose again, and gave us this terrible and life-giving Sacrament for the benefit and sanctification of our souls and bodies, so that we may be for the healing of my soul and body, for the driving away of everyone who is opposed, for the enlightenment of the eyes of my heart, for the peace of my spiritual strength, for faith that is not shameful, for love that is not hypocritical, for the fulfillment of wisdom, in keeping Your commandments, in the application of Your Divine grace and the appropriation of Your Kingdom; Yes, in Thy holiness we preserve them, I always remember Your grace, and I live not for myself, but for You, our Lord and Benefactor; and so from this life I have come from the hope of the eternal life, in the everlasting peace I will achieve, where those who celebrate the unceasing voice and endless sweetness, who behold the kindness of Your face indescribable. For You are the true desire and the inexpressible joy of those who love You, Christ our God, and all creation sings to You forever. Amen.
Prayer of Saint Basil the Great, 2nd
Master Christ God, King of the ages, and Creator of all, I thank Thee for all the good things He has given me, and for the communion of Thy most pure and life-giving Sacraments. I pray to You, the Kinder and the Lover of Mankind: keep me under Your roof, and in the shadow of Your wing; and grant me, with a clear conscience, even until my last breath, to partake worthily of Your holy things, for the remission of sins and unto eternal life. For You are the living bread, the source of holiness, the Giver of good things, and to You we send glory, together with the Father and the Holy Spirit, now and ever, and unto the ages of ages. Amen.
Prayer of Simeon Metaphrastus, 3rd
You have given me Thy flesh to eat by your will, O fire and scorch of the unworthy, do not scorch me, my Creator; rather, go into my heart, into all my parts, into my womb, into my heart. The thorns of all my sins fell. Cleanse your soul, sanctify your thoughts. Confirm the compositions with the bones together. Enlighten the simple five of your feelings. Just nail me to Your fear. Cover me always, keep me, and keep me from every deed and word that is suffocating. Cleanse and wash and adorn me; Fertilize, enlighten, and enlighten me. Show me Your village of the one Spirit, and not to anyone the village of sin. Yes, like Your house, the entrance of communion, like fire, every evildoer, every passion flees from me. I offer prayer books to You, all the saints, the orders of the bodiless, Your Forerunner, the wise Apostles, and to these Your undefiled, pure Mother, and also prayers to the Compassionate One Accept, my Christ, and make Your servant a son of light.
For you are our sanctification and our only, Good One, soul and lordship; and like unto You, as unto God and the Master, we ascribe all glory to you every day.
Prayer 4
May Thy Holy Body, Lord Jesus Christ, our God, be unto me for everlasting life, and Thy Honest Blood for the remission of sins: be this thanksgiving unto me joy, health and cheerfulness; At Thy terrible and second coming, grant me, a sinner, to be placed at the right hand of Thy glory, through the prayers of Thy Most Pure Mother and all the saints.
Prayer 5, to the Most Holy Theotokos
Most Holy Lady Theotokos, light of my darkened soul, hope, protection, refuge, consolation, my joy, I thank You, for You have vouchsafed me unworthy, a participant in the being of the Most Pure Body and Honest Blood of Your Son. But She who gave birth to the true Light, enlighten my intelligent eyes of the heart; You who gave birth to the Source of immortality, revive me, deadened by sin; Even the merciful God, loving Mother, have mercy on me, and give me peace and contrition in my heart, and humility in my thoughts, and appeal in captivity my thoughts; and grant me, until my last breath, to uncondemnably receive sanctification of the most pure Mysteries for the healing of soul and body. And give me tears of repentance and confession, so that I may sing and praise Thee all the days of my life, for blessed and glorified are Thou forever. Amen.
Now let Your servant go, O Master, according to Your word, in peace: for my eyes have seen Your salvation, which You have prepared before the face of all people, a light in the revelation of nations and the glory of your people, Israel.
Holy God, Holy Mighty, Holy Immortal, have mercy on us. (Thrice)
Glory, even now.
Most Holy Trinity, have mercy on us; Lord, cleanse our sins; Master, forgive our iniquities; Holy One, visit and heal our infirmities, for Thy name's sake.
Lord, have mercy. (Thrice)
Glory, even now.
Our Father, who art in heaven! Hallowed be Thy name, Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, as it is in heaven and on earth. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our debts, just as we forgive our debtors; and do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.
Troparion to Saint John Chrysostom, tone 8
Your lips, like the brightness of fire, shining with grace, enlighten the universe: not the love of money and the treasures of the world, showing us the height of humility, but punishing with your words, father John Chrysostom, pray to the Word of Christ God to save our souls.
Kontakion, tone 6
Glory: You have received Divine grace from heaven, and through your lips you teach us all to worship the one God in the Trinity, John Chrysostom, all-blessed, reverend, we worthy of praise you: you are a mentor, like a divine manifestation.
